Raleigh, N.C. - May 5, 2005 - Hosted Solutions, the Carolinas' premier data center and hosting solutions company, announced today the addition of Raleigh, NC based Pepsi Bottling Ventures to their high profile national client list. Pepsi Bottling Ventures (PBV), LLC, a joint venture between Suntory International and PepsiCo, is PepsiCo's third-largest anchor bottler in the United States, serving a population of almost 10 million people in portions of North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware and New York.
Pepsi Bottling Venutres had an important decision to make - should they build a corporate data center or secure a hosted enviroment with a leading managed web services company? After a hotly contested review of providers, they made the decision to colocate their entire corporate data center at Hosted Solutions.
“After debating the merits of building our own data center versus colocation, we decided that the implementation speed and scalability provided by Hosted Solutions made more sense for us,” says Tommy Alexander, Director of IT Infrastructure of Pepsi Bottling Ventures. “Hosted Solutions state-of-the-art facility and 24/7 tech support staff are in close proximity to our IT department and corporate headquarters, and enable us to quickly address several of our disaster recovery requirements.”
“Pepsi Bottling Ventures is one of the largest Pepsi bottlers in the US,” Hosted Solutions CEO Rich Lee says. “Naturally we are excited to add an industry leading multi-million dollar consumer products company to the Hosted Solutions client list. Our ability to provide enterprise level companies with customized, scalable and cost effective web hosting, data storage and security solutions continues to provide us with a competitive advantage.”
